I, for one, am not much of a fan of this box art. Every other Mystery Dungeon game has always had an interesting use of Sugimori's artwork depicting a group of Pokemon discovering a chest or even exploring a (supposed) dungeon. This one is just a bunch of Pokemon slapped on a (somewhat) colorful background. Of course the box art is nothing to be concerned about, but considering that it's the most recent MD news, I might as well express my thoughts on it, right? :P

I'm also becoming even more discouraged on the possibility of more starters, as the box art shows just the 5 Pokemon we've known since the beginning. Combine that fact with the trailer only showing the same 5 Pokemon on the selection screen, and that pretty much confirms it. I still have a little hope, but it's dwindling at this point.

We new styles of missions

If theres one thing they can improve, it would be, well, give us new kinds of dungeon missions!

here are the kinds of missions we got so far from the rescue team and explorers saga:

-Rescue mission (basic mission as usual.)

-Search for a Missing Pokemon mission. (Quite like Rescue missions. But ... most of these letters will lack details as to where it was. Just like a missing person case. I guess that some of these letters don't even tell who's the pokemon you'll rescue until you find the rescuee itself)

-Delivery mission (quite a bit challenging if it's in a weathery place, like Quicksand cave, that does not corresponds to you client's type.)

-Escort me to my love/friend/rival mission (one of the hardest yet most awe inspiring and rewarding missions. Why? your client may end dumb enough to ruin things for you.)

-Treasure Hunt mission. (Like 'guide a pokemon mission' or 'escort me to my love/friend/rival mission', you will give this pokemon a tour to a Golden chamber where a rare item is contained in a box. Once you step to the stairs your client will leave satisfied. Sometimes its just lying somewhere on a specific dungeon floor. Pick it up and your client is happy.)

-Guide a client mission (So hard that its like the escort mission. Its just most of the time, you can't tell when it will be satisfied to leave you behind on what floor. Especially dungeons that are having tons of floors)

-Solo Outlaw Arrest mission (early tries and levels are just evil. But it tends to get easier. It just depend on the criminal needed to be arrested. Magnezone or magnemite will join with you as a client, which is unavoidable at certain missions)

-Monster House Outlaw mission (gosh I hate this one! The criminal calls for TONS of backup of the residing dungeon unless you go something like Discharge, Attack Order, Earthquake, Silver Wind, Ominous Wind, or Vacuum Cut)

-Team Boss Battle Challenge mission (Well that's just cruel. You will have to fight a certain group of pokemon to receive your worthiness for thy team's sake. Worth the shot. Otherwise, not a cakewalk. But the rewards are nice)

-Legendary Pokemon Battle challenge mission (this one's self explanatory. Though I warn you in advance, all of them are found in very hard dungeons. Jirachi is the exception, yay!)

You said everything I've been thinking. Well done. I didn't like how they ended the tradition of the cool boxarts. This one reminds me more of the pokepark or whatever that game was called.

I don't believe Sugimori was the artist on the Mystery Dungeon covers guys.

Anyway, larger box art

They did the cover this way to show of those ring things, from when you scan an item to unlock a dungeon, since its a fairly important new development for the series (or at least it appears to be). I don't think people would like the cover much if it showed pokemon being sucked/diving into a black hole.

The Scarf/Bow thing is probably not directly related to much. I think it was just to have an alternating pattern. (scarf, bow, scarf, bow,scarf on the 5 starter/partners)

The other pokemon are presumably important to the story, so they're on there too.

I suppose the cover design was made to look more interesting and have more relevance to the characters of the game, since previous titles show seemingly a bunch of random pokemon. (My copy of PMD sky Didn't have a Charizard in it for a long time, and he was never part of my main team, yet he was on the cover. I never saw an Arbok, but I remember he was on the cover of one of the games)

Just one of the screenshots in the game. But I do see what you're saying about the overworld design. You never do see them with scarfs or bows. They solely contribute on a stat (unless it says "radiating aura" or something like that)

I sense some Tron lines on this art. But I have to admit those rings have a possible story world value like the Time Gears shown in the explorers boxart. But I have to say the art is not so bad but could still be better

Yea, that's what I meant. The overworld sprites. I really want to see the scarfs and bows, since it's in 3D, we just might.

In the trailer, there was a Jolteon. It would be cruel of them to not include all Pokémon.

I don't think all of them will be included since it's a spin off. But, I could be wrong. Also, I think it's good they showed Jolteon (maybe that's early in the game), usually we would encounter Eevee and its evolved forms after we beat the game.

Not to hate or anything... But Arbok was a member of Team AWD. Yeah, Charizard and Meganium were useless on the Sky art, they should've put Spinda or Wynaut, heck they could've used Scizor if they wanted to, they're all relevant to the story.

Charizard and Meganium could've represented the starters you could get, along with Prinplup and Pikachu, but meh.

Good point. I'm just really hoping Riolu will still be here, and if not... IDK. :/ I just don't want such limited options.

Also, I'm wondering if you'll be able to choose the Pokemon's genders this time around. I'm not sure, but I may as well go back and check the color of the text boxes on the trailer.

That's unlikely, as the personality test asks you if you're a boy or a girl. The result would end up either as a male or female pokemon, depending on what you chose for your gender. I don't think you'll be able to control that in this new game.
